Space Physiology by Jay C. Buckey Jr. M.D. (PDF)

Description

The success of any space flight mission depends not only on advanced technology but also on the health and well-being of crew members. This book, written by an astronaut physician, is the first practical guide to maintaining crew members health in space. It combines research results with practical advice on such problems as bone loss, kidney stones, muscle wasting, motion sickness, loss of balance, orthostatic intolerance, weight loss, and excessive radiation exposure. Additional topics include pre-flight preparation, relevant gender differences, long-duration medical planning, post-flight rehabilitation, and the physiology of extra-vehicular activity. Designed as a handbook for space crews, this text is also an invaluable tool for all the engineers, medical personnel, and scientists who plan and execute space missions.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I got this book for my 16 year old daughter who was interested in the topic. She read it in about two days because she read it non-stop. It was a challenging read but fruitful. She loved it. What she liked about it was that was organized really well and it gave a background on every topic. Also at the end of each chapter was a section on recommendations based on current knowledge, which was directly helpful for understanding what to do. It repeated things a lot to ensure the reader understood the points of view, which was also great. Recommended for anyone wishing to get into this topic and looking for a great first book to read.

⭐The textbook was in great condition.

⭐Just what I needed. This is was exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend this buyer to a friend.

⭐The title says it all. There’s a bunch of stuff in here that you need, and not a lot of stuff that you don’t.

⭐This is the better of the two books you’ll have to read if you bought this for school. The author takes some extra time to explain things to those who haven’t just taken Anatomy/Physiology the semester prior.

⭐I loved this book! It’s well organized and breaks down complex concepts so that they’re both interesting and very informative. It does help to have a little medical knowledge or you’ll have to look things up as you go, but overall the book is very accessible and the information is easy to understand. Highly recommended.

⭐The book is complete, but you have to know a little of physiology before buy it.

⭐宇宙飛行士は身体的にも精神的にも健康そのものである。が、宇宙は過酷であり、健康を脅かす様々な危険やストレスに満ちている。宇宙飛行に備えて宇宙飛行士がどのように心身の健康を維持しているか、また、宇宙で遭遇する健康上の問題にどのような対抗措置が講じられるのかについて、本書には詳細に、それでいて極めてわかり易く解説されている。宇宙ほどではないにしろ、私たちの日常生活にも健康を脅かす要因は多い。その中で健康を維持するために役立つ正確な医学知識が、宇宙飛行士の眼を通して実に面白く語られている。著者は医師でありニューロラブ計画（STS-90）の搭乗科学者としてスペースシャトルでの飛行経験を持つ医学研究者である。（カバー袖より）宇宙飛行を成功させるためには高度な技術が必要なだけでなく、乗組員の身体と精神の健全性も欠くことのできない要件である。医師である宇宙飛行士によって書かれた本書は、宇宙で乗組員の健康を維持するための初めての実用的な参考書である。骨の減少、腎結石、筋肉の萎縮、宇宙酔い、平衡機能の失調、起立耐性低下、そして宇宙放射線による過度の被曝といった問題について、研究成果に加えて実際に役立つ助言が纏められている。その他の話題として、宇宙飛行前の準備、宇宙飛行に関する性差の問題、長期宇宙飛行に向けた医療計画、宇宙飛行後のリハビリテーション、船外活動の生理学なども論じられている。宇宙飛行士のための手引書として作られた本であるが、宇宙航空関係の技術者、医療関係者や宇宙実験を計画し実行しようとしている科学者にも役立つ貴重な情報源である。
